Landscape Day -- Sunday
Morning, April 5, 1998. 9:30 - 12:00. We need your help! We must plant
several large trees and shrubs on Sunday morning -- they are being delivered on Thursday
or Friday, and must be put in the ground before Pesach. We are also getting a mulch
delivery and need to start spreading it. Please try to make some time and join us for a
few hours. If you have small children, and need babysitting, we can provide supervision on
the playground. If you are coming, and have a small wheelbarrow or cart, please bring it,
bring a shovel, and your gloves. Please let our chairman, Barbara Elkin know if you are
coming , but come even if you don't let her know. She can be reached by e-mail. Thanks.
KUDOS: Our grounds have been looking
so much better since Barbara and her crew of volunteers have been working. Check out the
beautiful spring bulbs blooming all over the place (front, side and sukkah courtyard).
Your help will make such a difference!
